R.E.M. - Strange Currencies: chords

C         F              C        F
I don't know why you're mean to me
        C  F        C    Dm G
When I call on the telephone
C             F            C        F
And I don't know what you mean to me
                       C
But I want to turn you on,
                         F
turn you up, figure you out,
                   Dm G
I want to take you on

Chorus:
       C  G F C F            G
These words,   "You will be mine"
       C  G F      C      Dm
These words, "You will be mine"
         G
all the time

The fool might be my middle name
But I'd be foolish not to say
I'm going to make whatever it takes
Bring you up, call you down,
sign your name, secret love
Make it rhyme, take you in, and make you mine

Chorus

Am             G  Am       G
I tripped and fell. Did I fall?
Am              F C Dm                   G
What I want to feel,  I want to feel it now

And now with love come strange currencies
And here is my appeal
I need a chance, a second chance,
a third chance, a fourth chance
A word, a signal, a nod, a little breath
Just to fool myself,
to catch myself, to make it real, real

Chorus

These words, "You will be mine"
These words, they haunt me, hunt me down,
catch in my throat, make me pray
Say, love's confined, oh
